Seeding torrents

yurimxpxman · November 18th, 2006

What do you guys do after you've downloaded a torrent and three weeks later you're at a 0% share ratio? Do you keep it on your hard drive or do you just assume that the torrent's so healthy that it doesn't need you whatsoever?

I'm seeding nearly a dozen torrents right now, many of which are over 3GB. But there's this stupid Wolvix distro that nobody's downloaded from me. I'm thinking about just deleting it.

What would ya'll do?

I'm a leech for most of the stuff... until I download another torrent, then I re-seed everything else.

I'm part of a Torrent Community and we have ratios. I always seed for atleast 24 hours before stopping.

But what if no one downloads from you? Do you keep it indefinitely?

I just leave it. If I have had it for a long time (couple weeks) then I will delete it.

Heh, if no one has downloaded a specific file from me within a week, and I don't need it any more, I delete it.
